Kites are one of the highest-volume admissions at BRC, with individuals arriving throughout the year due to wing fractures, Manja collision injuries, electrocution, falls, and entanglement. Their recovery requires more than medical treatment—kites need space to rebuild flight strength, balance, stamina, and maneuvering ability before they can be released safely.

BRC also cares for several lifetime-care kites that cannot be released due to permanent injuries. These birds deserve a secure, species-appropriate space where they can fly short distances, perch naturally, and live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Currently, BRC does not have enough enclosures for kites, which limits our ability to rehabilitate them properly. This increases the risk of premature release and reduces long-term welfare for non-releasable birds. A Kite Flight Enclosure is therefore essential to address a critical infrastructure gap.
